Labview does not allow me to get components of a 1D Waveform

It is a 1D array of waveforms.

I believe, Paul's intention is that if there are N waveforms with same dt and same t0, it doesn't make sense to have them a N waveforms instead 1 waveform with N+ channels.

1D or higher dimensional waveforms are typically for better management/identification of waveform source/functionality.

Obviously, you know more than me here, but I always thought that the Y component of a waveform is always a 1D array. (We are not talking about dynamic data, right?)

Compare that to the legacy, pre-waveform [xo, dx, [Y]] cluster that can have 1D or 2D arrays for Y:

So how exactly are you defining a single waveform with N channels without using an array of waveforms?

My intention was to be lexically nit-picky.  A waveform necessarily occupies at least 2 dimensions.  There's no such thing as a "1D Waveform".
